Great accommodations, right on the beach in a great surf zone. Hosts and their staff were excellent and the trips they arranged for us were enjoyed by all in my family. My son also loved the half-pipe out in front, which is cement (super fun!). I'd go back in a heat beat!

We had a great time and will definitely be back. My kids really enjoyed the pool and we loved being so close to the beach. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We rented a pickup truck in Managua and it was an easy drive down. It gave us the freedom to explore nearby sites and drive to Popoyo beach.

We stayed in Buena Onda for 3 nights in a deluxe suite. AC, fan, safe and large fridge included in the spacious room with an on-suite bathroom. Beautiful and quite resort situated in the middle of Playa Santana beach. Great surf and fishing excursions from this spot as well as morning horse rides on the beach. The management are really...

I stayed here for 3 weeks. I'm very familiar with this area and many of the resorts and Buena Onda hands down is my new favourite. It's very laid back, very nice, and very reasonably priced. My daily schedule involved early morning surf 5:30am, then my morning coffee sitting by the pool reading my book. Breakfast , workout , hammock,...

This resort is significantly nicer than other properties we stayed at in Nicaragua. Gil and his staff were lovely to deal with both before and after our trip. The food was great and the pool was awesome to have. Will definitely recommend and would come back in a heartbeat. Thanks!

We spent 2 days on this beautiful and remote place. Everything was perfect, the food, the room, the service. We took a surf lesson with Bella at Magnific Rock which was awesome as we had the beach for our own. Everyting was organized by the manager Guille (sorry if I missspelled it). Just one advice, if you have your own...

I really enjoyed my stay at Buena Ondas! It's a very nice and spacious surf resort. The rooms are clean and at fair prices, there's a very good restaurant, a swimming pool and even a skateboarding half pipe. From the first moment I really liked the whole setup of the resort. Gilles and Aurelie and all the stuff are great...

We booked a room here for two nights thinking that this place was in a quiet little surfing town. NOT!!! While the hotel itself is nice there is absolutely nothing around. I MEAN NOTHING!!! It is in the middle of a corn field. The beach is very rocky with very little sand. Supposedly nearby attractions are NOT nearby. We decided...

I had a awesome time in Buena Onda!!!!
The staffs are so nice, they organized everything to make me feel confortable and free to think just in SURF!!!! hehehe
We surfed together somtimes and they show me the best peak in Santana, the first one!!! kkkkkkkkk

That pool has a magnet or something...

I'm an avid traveler to Central America in search of great surf. My priority is always surfing so I'm always looking for budget friendly ways to take more trips. Beuna Onda is by far the best value for the quality you can find in the Santana's surf break area. The hotel and grounds are super nice and resort like, the...

Our seaside hideaway is just a stones throw from one of Nicaragua's finest beaches, Playa Santana - where our nearest neighbors are grazing cows and howling monkeys. We have superb, consistently breaking, barreling surf right out front. Sunshine, tropical warmth, warm water and off-shore breezes 300+ days a year, comfortable (and affordable!) Accommodation, and most of all, BUENA ONDA (good vibrations) morning, noon and night. Your Swiss hosts, Philip and Sarah, will make sure that you spend your well-deserved holiday hassle free, in style and that you are well looked after during your stay. Come and explore - we'd love to share our little piece of paradise with you....more less

“The $15 rooms are great if you are on a budget, but when the four bunks are occupied, it can get very warm at night. I recommend going for the 2 bed rooms instead, they cost a bit more, but the space and more air flow in the rooms outweigh the cost.”
